Notes
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
- Use baby kale for ease. If you don't have access to baby kale, substitute one bunch of fresh kale. Simply rinse, dry, and chop or tear into large pieces before air-frying.
- Dry the kale well. Use a clean kitchen towel or salad spinner to remove all the moisture.
- Preheat your air fryer. This helps with even cooking.
